15 things I saw today from Barcelona and Andorra

Hey all, it was a travel day today and I may be getting sick, so get ready for another small post.

  1. Billboards! Spain and Andorra (especially Andorra) have billboards on their roads.
  2. Buildings that could have been abandoned or may just be old. There were these big houses up int he mountains that looked old and were too far away for me to see if they were in use or not.
  3. Catalonia flags. These were everywhere as we drove through Spain.
  4. Parrots. I spent the morning reading in a park and was delighted to see the bright green birds.
  5. So many dogs in the park! I wanted to pet them all, but also didn't want to abandon all of the stuff I had with me.
  6. Cigarette ads. These are in Andorra and I guess it just struck me because we don't have them in the US.
  7. Graves built into a mountain side. They were so striking.
  8. Snow on mountains. It's so odd to be in about 70 degree weather with the sun shining and be able to see snow.
  9. A Salvador Dali sculpture. I didn't even know he did sculptures.
  10. A McDonalds that serves macarons. Who knew there was such a thing?
  11. So many cigar and liquor stores. I must be in an odd part of town, but I swear I saw like ten of these.
  12. So many mountain towns. I had never really thought about what these looked like before, but there were so many communities nestled into rock.
  13. A bidet. My hotel room has a bidet and I think it's my first one to.
  14. The Andorran flag. I didn't know what it looked like before arriving today.
  15. So many mountain tunnels. Some were very quick, but a few tested my fear of the dark.

15 things you'll think about during your dad's latest hospital stay

This is meant to be a related piece to "15 things to do in your dad's hospital room," "15 Things You Find in Your Dad's Hospice Room," and "15 Things You Find When You Clean Out Your Dad’s Apartment" .  The Christmas lights at the nurse's station that should really have been switched for saccharine cupids by now What team decided to hang up a clearly labeled DRAFT safety sign Who comes up with the aliases they seem to use for trauma patients and how they decided on Redstone for your dad That his skin either looks like a bruised elephant or like sickeningly conflicting colors of thin paper mache Where you can possibly get food--you're shaky The patient in the ER somewhere with a lot of ammo, but no gun, or so they say Why the staff is being so happily loud and swearing...it feels discordant The used bandaid and gauze that are left on the floor of his ER room as he moves to his hospital room...the last proof he was there Having to do this a...
